Profile:
Given the brilliant start to his Test career, and the promise he held
out, Surinder Amarnath's overall figures may be disappointing. But it
must be said that he was given a raw deal by the selectors. As the one
classy left hander in the side during his time, he should have been
persevered with. Starting out as a schoolboy prodigy - he made his
Ranji debut when only 15 and made his mark first on the 1967 Indian
schoolboys tour of England - Surinder continued to live up to this
early potential by scoring a century on debut in an unofficial `Test'
against Sri Lanka in 1975-76 and followed this up a few months later
with a century on Test debut in New Zealand.
An aggressive left hander, Surinder could be bit flashy but when in
full flow, he was a treat to watch and could decimate even the best of
attacks. He headed the averages in the two Tests he played against
England in 1976-77, scoring two half centuries in four innings but he
was unfortunate to sustain an injury early on the tour of Australia in
1977-78 and had to return home. However he did reasonably well on the
tour of Pakistan in 1978-79 but was not considered again. This,
despite getting 235 not out for Delhi against Rest of India in 1980-81
following which there was a clamour for his inclusion in the team that
went to Australia that season. A prolific run getter in domestic
cricket, Surinder scored 4206 runs (41.24) in the Ranji Trophy.(Partab Ramchand)
